1 IntroductionEAP300 is a multi-functioned 11n product with 3 major multi-functions, is designed to operate in every working

environment for enterprises.

EAP300 is a Wireless Network device that delivers up to 6x faster speeds and 7x extended coverage than 802.11b/g

devices. EAP300 supports home network with superior throughput, performance and unparalleled wireless range.

To protect data during wireless transmissions, EAP300 encrypts all wireless transmissions through WEP data encryption

and supports WPA/WPA2. Its MAC address filter allows users to select stations with access to connect network. In

addition, the function of user isolation protects private network between client users. EAP300 thus is the best product to

ensure network safety for enterprises.

1.3 System RequirementsThe following are the minimum system requirements in order configure the device.

Computer with an Ethernet interface or Wireless Network function. Windows, Mac OS or Linux based operating systems Internet Explorer or Firefox or Safari Web-Browser Software

1.4 ApplicationsThe wireless LAN products are easy to install and highly efficient. The following list describes some of the many

applications made possible through the power and flexibility of wireless LANs:

a) Difficult-to-wire environmentsThere are many situations where wires cannot be laid easily. Historic buildings, older buildings, open areas

and across busy streets make the installation of LANs either impossible or very expensive.

b) Temporary workgroupsConsider situations in parks, athletic arenas, exhibition centers, disaster-recovery, temporary offices and

construction sites where one wants a temporary WLAN established and removed.

c) The ability to access real-time informationDoctors/nurses, point-of-sale employees, and warehouse workers can access real-time information whiledealing with patients, serving customers and processing information.

d) Frequently changed environmentsShow rooms, meeting rooms, retail stores, and manufacturing sites where frequently rearrange the

workplace.

e) Small Office and Home Office (SOHO) networksSOHO users need a cost-effective, easy and quick installation of a small network.

f) Wireless extensions to Ethernet networksNetwork managers in dynamic environments can minimize the overhead caused by moves, extensions tonetworks, and other changes with wireless LANs.

g) Wired LAN backupNetwork managers implement wireless LANs to provide backup for mission-critical applications running on

wired networks.

h) Training/Educational facilitiesTraining sites at corporations and students at universities use wireless connectivity to ease access to

information, information exchanges, and learning.

2 Before you BeginThis section will guide you through the installation process. Placement of the ENGENIUS EAP300 is very important to

avoid poor signal reception and performance. Avoid placing the device in enclosed spaces such as a closet, cabinet or

wardrobe.

2.1 Considerations for Wireless InstallationThe operating distance of all wireless devices cannot be pre-determined due to a number of unknown obstacles in the

environment that the device is deployed. These could be the number, thickness and location of walls, ceilings or other

objects that the wireless signals must pass through. Here are some key guidelines to ensure that you have the optimalwireless range.

Keep the number of walls and ceilings between the EnGenius access point and other network devices to a minimum.Each wall or ceiling can reduce the signal strength; the degradation depends on the buildings material.

Building materials makes a difference. A solid metal door or aluminum stubs may have a significant negative effect onrange. Locate your wireless devices carefully so the signal can pass through a drywall or open doorways. Materials such

as glass, steel, metal, concrete, water (fish tanks), mirrors, file cabinets and brick will also degrade your wireless signal.

Interferences can also come from your other electrical devices or appliances that generate RF noise. The most usualtypes are microwaves, or cordless phones.

Wireless Distribution System (WDS)Using WDS to connect Access Point wirelessly, and in doing so extend a

wired infrastructure to locations where cabling is not possible or

inefficient to implement.

Note that compatibility between different brands and models is not

guaranteed. It is recommended that the WDS network be created using

the same models for maximum compatibility.

Also note that all Access Points in the WDS network needs to use the

same Channel and Security settings.

To create a WDS network, please enter the MAC addresses of the Access

Points that you want included in the WDS. There can be a maximum of

four access points.

5.3 AdvancedThis page allows you to configure wireless advance settings. It is recommended the default settings are used unless the

user has experience with these functions.

Advanced (Access Point / WDS AP mode)

Fragment Threshold Specifies the size of the packet per fragment. This function can reduce the chance of packet

collision.

However when this value is set too low, there will be increased overheads resulting in poor

performance.

RTS Threshold When the packet size is smaller than the RTS Threshold, then the packet will be sent without

RTS/CTS handshake which may result in incorrect transmission.

Beacon Interval The time interval that the device broadcasts a beacon. This beacon is used to synchronize allwireless clients on the network.

DTIM Period A Delivery Traffic Indication Message informs all wireless clients that the access point will be

sending Multi-casted data.

N Data Rate You can limit the transfer rates between the device and wireless clients. Each Modulation Coding

Scheme (MCS) refers to a specif ic transfer speed.

Channel Bandwidth Set whether each channel uses 20 or 40Mhz.

To achieve 11n speeds, 40Mhz channels must be used.

Preamble Type A preamble is a message that helps access points synchronize with the client.

Long Preamble is standard based so increases compatibility.

Short Preamble is non-standard, so it decreases compatibility but increases performance.

Tx Power Set the power output of the wireless signal.

SSID Selection Select the SSID that the security settings will apply to.

Separate Tick the box in SSID or STA to Enable Separate feature.

Separate prevents communication and data sharing between wireless stations associated with

same SSID or different SSID.

Broadcast SSID If Disabled, then the device will not be broadcasting the SSID. Therefore it will be invisible to

wireless clients.

WMM Wi-Fi Multi-Media is a Quality of Service protocol which prioritizes traffic in the order according

to voice, video, best effort, and background.

Note that in certain situations, WMM needs to be enabled to achieve 11n transfer speeds.

Encryption The encryption method to be applied.

You can choose from WEP, WPA pre-shared key or WPA RADIUS. Disabled - no data encryption is used. WEP - data is encrypted using the WEP standard. WPA-PSK- data is encrypted using the WPA-PSK standard. This is a later standard than WEP,

and provides much better security than WEP. If all your Wireless stations support WPA-PSK,

you should use WPA-PSK rather than WEP.

WPA2-PSK- This is a further development of WPA-PSK, and offers even greater security,using the AES (Advanced Encryption Standard) method of encryption.

WPA-RADIUS - This version of WPA requires a Radius Server on your LAN to provide theclient authentication according to the 802.1x standard. Data transmissions are encrypted usingthe WPA standard.

If this option is selected:

This Access Point must have a "client login" on the Radius Server. Each user must have a "user login" on the Radius Server. Each user's wireless client must support 802.1x and provide the login data when required. All data transmission is encrypted using the WPA standard. Keys are automatically

generated, so no key input is required.

IEEE 802.1x is an authentication protocol. Every user must use a valid account to login to this Access Point before accessing the

wireless LAN. The authentication is processed by a RADIUS server. This mode only authenticates users by IEEE 802.1x, but it does not

encrypt the data during communication.
